I was watching coverage on Fox News. Fr. Jonathan made it a point to say that the Vatican announced to all nations their intent for the ceremony, BUT did not invite any individual nation.
A very wise move, he left it up to the individual nations to decide if they wanted to attend, and who to send.
I didn't know that. Did Fr Jonathan say why Francis returned to his chair? I only caught part of the discussion before Mass and if I understood correctly, it was precisely because he knew proabortion and antiCatholic delegates would be present. But again, I missed part of that discussion.
Did you see anything scandalous from the US delegates in the coverage you watched?
